Initiation by the Customer Clause Samples

Initiation by the Customer. If the Customer wishes to qualify and engage a third-party supplier to manufacture any Products, then the Customer will give written notice to NXP identifying such Products and the proposed third-party supplier, and, if the proposed third-party supplier is approved by NXP, the Parties will mutually agree upon a timetable for the transition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NXP will not withhold or delay its approval of a given third-party supplier so long as the transition of the manufacture of such Products to such third-party supplier would not result in a direct competitor of NXP receiving access to NXP proprietary manufacturing processes for which such third-party supplier has no comparable equivalent.
